Fish Bowl

Today in my humanities class we did a fish bowl about the questions my class mates had about The Giver chapter 3-4-5. Many people did not particapate in the first hadfull of questions which was about the stirring. I guess not many went in the fish bowl on those questions because they might not have understood it fully or the question was to hard for them, so they just sat out the whole time. But then on the second question which was talking about realeasing. Now on that question everyone came in to answer but on that question things got a little outta control, people started getting off task, and there was a lot of side conversations going on, people started racing for chairs, and seats. But the people in the circle still had their conversations. I also find that the realesing questions were much easier then the stirrings. It was a little like the last fish bowl, always the same people went in, so then eventually the conversation would stop and there would be no more ideas to say because the same people kept coming in. But still I think most people had fun in the fish bowl, including me. :)
